VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Love The Lord Jesus!?!

Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV

... Whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 

I Love The Lord Jesus! 

Do You!?! 

We Do! 

We Say That We Love The Lord Jesus 

So I Am Going To Boldly Ask 

"Why!?! 

What For!?! 

To What End!?!" 

We Can Both Say It Is Because He First Loved Us 

And

Out Of Reciprocal Obligation

We Have To Love Him Back 

Because 

It Is The Only Way To Get Into Our Father's House 

Aka The Mansions Of The Forever Blessed! 

Brethren, 

Is That Enough, Sufficient, Or Good Enough!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Take Thought 

And 

Break This Love Business, Love Affair, Love Pact Down! 

Neither Of Us Could Or Would 

Truly Love Someone Who Acts Entitled 

Nor Would Or Could Anyone Love Us 

If We Wore Entitled Man's Attire And Attitude! 

Now, Beloved, 

Besides The Already Stated Obvious Reason 

For Loving The Lord

I Love The Lord Because His Word Is Bond 

Be They Blessings Or Cursings 

To Include Loving Warnings And Gentle Corrections: 

His Delivery Service Unremittingly Works! 

Brethren, 

To Make This Personal

When My Son Was Growing Up And Under My Control

I Had One Hard And Fast Rule: 

If I Promised Him A Gift Or A Treat

I Delivered The Gift Or Treat, No Excuses! 

Conversely, If I Promised A Previously Advertised Punishment 

For Known Unacceptable Behavior 

Which Had Previously Been Warned Against And Corrected

I Delivered That Punishment As Warranted, No Exceptions! 

My Son Understood The Brief 

Because 

I Did Not Send Mixed Aka Muddled Signals! 

My Follow-Up And My Follow-Through Were A Given! 

Brethren, 

Our Blessed Jesus Gave Us Rules To Live And Love By 

And

He Was, Is, Abundantly Clear 

About The Costs Incurred And Benefits Provided 

For Doing, Or Ignoring Aka Rejecting His Word

His Will For Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

The One Thing That 

We May All Rest Easy About Is This Fact: 

"The Lord, The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!" 

The Lord Does Not Turn On 

And

Leave On 

An Emergency Light In Our Lives Where None Exists 

As This Would Give Us Carte Blanche 

To Ignore His Command 

Even When A Real Emergency Occurs 

Which Would Be, Which Is, To Our Eternal Detriment! 

Great Is Our Lord's Love And Faithfulness To Us! 

Let Us, From This Moment On

Love Him By Our Willing And Unwavering Obedience 

By Keeping His Commandments Which Are Not Burdensome! 

Beloved, 

The Way Of The Lord ... The Commandments Of The Lord

Is Not 

An Hedge Of Thorns 

So Do Not Fear To Obey Him! 

Be Not Slothful! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sacrifice The Truth!?!

Proverbs 23:23 KJV

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

The Damned Devil Is The Cursed-Forever Liar! 

Look At Foolishness! 

Blessed-Forever Truth Was Placed On An Idolatrous Altar For Sacrifice! 

Do You Know Who Placed Him There!?! 

Yes! Yes! I Know! 

Peace And Unity Placed Him There! 

Now, Will You Please Be Kind Enough As To Tell Me Why!?! 

Well, As I Understand It

Peace Required Unity 

And 

Unity Longed For Peace 

But 

Truth Was A "Miserable" Comforter 

For Always Speaking Things Uncomfortable To Swallow

And 

Inconvenient To Accept

So It Was Practicable For The Unpopular Trio To Become 

A World-Famous Duet! 

Well Said, Brother Reason! 

Now, Brethren, Given The Circumstances

Do You Believe That This Duet Will Last!?! 

No, It Can't Last

And

It Won't Last Because That Duet Is Going To Duel 

As Each Of The Partners Will Want The Top Billing! 

Neither One Will Lower Their Flag

And 

The Partnership Will Flag

And Then They, Defeated, Will Each Flag-Down Truth 

Before They Will Remember That 

They Had Gleefully Sacrificed Truth! 

Slow Your Roll, Brother Man! 

Truth Cannot Be Killed! 

You Know That And I Know That 

But 

Deniers Of Truth Don't Know That 

Or They Roundly Reject It! 

True, Preacher Man, But They Will Desire Truth ... Eventually! 

Beloved, 

Being A Denier Or A Rejector 

Does Not Change The Fact That 

Truth Is

That Truth Saves

That Jesus Christ Is Truth Aka The Truth

And 

That He Was, Is, And Forever Shall Be! 

Dear Ones, 

Will You Trust The Truth

And 

Walk In Concord Aka In Agreement With The Truth

And 

Speak The Truth ... In Righteousness

No Matter The Vile Coercion

The Threatened Consequence

Or The Ultimate Cost!?! 

You Can, You Know

Because 

The Truth Alone, Jesus Christ Alone, Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait!?!

Psalm 25:15 KJV

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Would You Wait On Somebody That You Do Not Trust!?! 

No! 

Would You Have Faith In Somebody 

Whose Words You Do Not Believe!?! 

No! 

Would You Follow Somebody Who Has Shown You That 

They Are Faithless!?! 

No! 

Would You Park Your Life 

In The Climate-Controlled Garage Of Somebody 

Whose Motto, Mantra, Reason For Living 

... And Teaches You The Same ... 

Is 

"Do Whatever You Desire

To Whomever You Desire

For Whatever Reason You Desire

For However Long You Desire

Wherever And Whenever You Desire It!?!" 

Please Say "NO!" 

Brethren, 

That "Do Whatever ... !" 

Is 

The Word Of The Father Of Lies

Your Adversary The Devil

The Piercing Serpent

Who Desires Aka Who Craves 

Aka Who Is Greedy To Gain ... Your Destruction! 

That Unremitting Liar 

Is 

Bound For Unquenchable Fire! 

Beloved, 

Breathe Deeply To Calm Yourself 

And 

Lovingly Look At The Ten Commandments Of 

The Lord Our God 

And 

Notice The Obvious For Even The Blind Man: 

Four-Fifths Aka Eight Out Of Ten Commandments 

Bluntly Say To Us 

"NO!" 

"DON'T!" 

As In "THOU SHALT NOT!" 

This Is The Word Of The Consistent

Faithful, Trustworthy, God Of All Grace 

Whose Word Is The Truth! 

Follow Him! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 

Always "YES!" Is Never Best 

So Take The "NO!" 

And 

Live In Jesus Christ's Glow! 

Only Our Lord Christ Helps, Heals, Saves And Seals: 

Please Cling To Him! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Big Box Christianity!?!

Psalm 18:35 KJV

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 

Damnation Is In My I's! 

Salvation Is In His Eyes! 

Are You A Greedy Person!?! 

I Was And Still Am

But For A Different Reason 

And Toward The Real God 

So It's Not Greed But Godly Longing 

Which I Know Will See Its Truest Fulfillment 

In The Great And Glorious Day! 

Do You Remember Big, Bigger, Biggest

The Three Boxes, No Marks

Just Size Differential 

And 

You Were Asked To Pick A Box, Any Box

And 

What Did You Do!?! 

You Went For The Biggest Box 

And 

Got A Big Box Filled With Paper 

And 

A Small, Cheap, Not Beautiful Toy That 

Broke Almost Immediately! 

The Person Who Went For The Mid-Sized Box 

Got Something A Little Bit Better

Not Spectacular ... But Better 

But

The Person Who Was Left The Only Option Called Why Bother

Opened It Gratefully

Glad To Get Anything At All

And 

Found That They Had Gotten The Brass Ring That Was Pure Gold

The Dirty-Looking, Crumpled Piece Of Paper That 

Was A Real Honest To Goodness $5.0And 

A Tightly Folded Invitation To The Tea Party

Paid For In Full! 

Wow! 

So Much For Having Big, Greedy, Covetous Eyes 

Always Looking I-Full 

But 

Getting The Awfuls! 

Beloved, 

That's Just How It Is With Our Lives! 

Boxes! 

However, Since We Consider Ourselves To Be Bright Sparks

Brilliant Sophisticates

The Road To Damnation ... The Biggest Box

Is 

Gaudily Wrapped, Heavy With Moon-Shot Promises

But 

Found In Reality 

To Be Cheap, Broken

A Costly Embarrassment For Us To Experience 

And 

The Laughing World To See! 

But 

Don't Lose Hope! 

Seeing Someone With A Grateful Heart Accept 

The Little Box Of Salvation

- The Grand And Glorious Gift - 

With Love And Gratitude 

Should Cause You, Me, Us To Do A Rethink

A Re-Evaluation

And 

Change Our Stinking Thinking! 

Will You Do It!?! 

I-Full Ain't A Belly Full 

So Don't Fill Up On Fumes! 

Dear Ones, 

Forget The Shadows Of Satan 

And 

Go For The Substance That Is Our Savior

And

Free Yourself From The Scourge That 

Is 

The Big Box Of Sin! 

Beloved, 

Please Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Almighty God 

In Christ Jesus Our Loving Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is It!?!

KJV Luke 11:13

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Beloved, 

Truth Is Like Water And Wind! 

You Can't Live Without It ... Them! 

Truth, Water, And Wind Are For Hydration, Cooling, And Cleansing! Water Finds Its Own Level

Wind Will Find A Pin-Hole

And 

Truth Frees! 

Dear Ones, 

Whatever The Reason We Find Truth

We Will Always Be Impacted By It

Be It For Good Or Ill! 

Bottom Line ... 

We Live And We Lie And We Die 

But

Truth Can Never Lie Or Die 

Because 

Truth Is! 

Sin Finds Its Own Level! 

We Can Live Without Sin 

But

We Cannot Live Without Truth! 

Without Truth, Everything Created Ceases To Be! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life Aka A Use By Date 

And Because Truth Is Self-Evident

Sin Only Exists Because Of Obfuscation Aka Lies! 

Lies Cannot Stand In The Face Of Truth 

So It Attempts To Run Rings Around It 

But

Every Right-Thinking Person Well Knows That 

When One Runs In Rings Aka Circles Long Enough

The Circles Start To Wobble

And Then Get Smaller And Smaller 

Until The Ring-Maker Circle-Runner Runs Smack-Dab 

Into ... Inescapable ... Truth! 

Looka Dem Apples! 

People, People, Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

He Made Us And Not We Ourselves! We Are His Twice, By Creation And Redemption

So Let Us Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation 

And

Let Us Shuck Ourselves Of Old Satan's Lies 

And 

Immerse Ourselves In The Truth By The Water And The Wind 

Both Of Which Are Symbols For The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into Truth 

... Unto Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Sure Salvation! 

Ever Remember This, Dear Ones: 

Water Fills The Available Space

And 

Wind Enters The Opening You Give Or Make 

Aka The Holy Spirit Will Meet You Where You Are 

And 

Fill You And Help You To Get Rid Of Your Trash Called Sin 

Because 

You Desire It! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Let Your Fire, Your Holy Spirit, Fall Upon Us 

As We Pray And Trust In You Today! 

Lead Us Into All Truth As Is Your Will For Us! 

AMEN. 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Transformed!?!

Looking Up! 

Listening! 

Looking Forward! 

How Are You Standing!?! 

Where Are You Going!?! 

Who Are You Leading ... Or Misleading!?! 

Who Is Leading ... Or Misleading You!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Being Transformed ... By The Renewing Of Your Mind!?! 

Who Is The Transformer In Your Life!?!

Is It The Spirit Of The Holy God 

Or That Of The Malevolent Spirit, Satan!?! 

What Are You Receiving!?! 

What Are You Conceiving!?! 

Who Are You Deceiving!?! 

Brethren, 

The Olde Expression Says That Talk Is Cheap 

But That It Takes Money To Buy Whiskey! 

It Also Says That We Do Not Pay Taxes On Our Words: 

Perhaps We Should Start! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Committed Christians Do Not Drink Whiskey 

Or Any Other Alcoholic Beverages 

And 

We Are To Guard Our Hearts Because Of The Fact That 

The Issues Of Life Causes Things To Come Out Of Us 

Which Defile Us! 

For What Are You Looking Up!?! 

To What Are You Intentionally Listening!?! 

To What, For Whom, And Why Are You Looking Forward!?! 

Will You, Will I, Will Anyone, Be Blessed And Benefitted!?! 

Will Faith, Hope, And Truth Matter!?! 

Will We Be Saved When Jesus Christ Comes!?! 

I Am Asking For A Friend

And

Enquiring Minds Desire To Know! 

Let Us Dig Deep For Real Answers! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!

KJV John 14:21

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

He Had His Foot On The Brake

And 

I Had My Foot On The Gas

And 

It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That 

I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast! 

Very Soon I Was Glad 

For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention

I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least

A Personalized Body-Cast! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love! 

Time Changed! 

I Had Had My Foot On The Brake 

But 

He Escorted My Foot To The Gas 

And 

I Soon Came To Realize That 

I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again

For His Intervention, Again

And 

Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked 

Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!" 

Brethren, Beloved, 

How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly 

When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said: 

"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!" 

How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared 

And 

Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster 

When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!" 

Are You Seeing The Pattern!?! 

The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went! 

The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix 

And 

Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That 

Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him! 

Plainly Put, 

Love Is Demonstrated! 

It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism! 

Beloved, 

Look Around! 

We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs 

And 

We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs: 

Consequences Apply! 

Let's Think On These Things 

And 

Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us 

To Do As He Commands 

No Matter The Earthly Cost 

Because 

Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Which Words!?!

KJV Psalms 39:1

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Words Have Consequences 

For The Rich And For The Poor

For The Knocker At The Front Gate 

And 

The Opener Of The Inside Door!

People, Don't Blink! 

Think! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Achan's Confession Of His Delight In The Babylonish Garment 

And 

For Silver And Gold 

Led To His Excommunication 

And 

Stoning To Death And Burning On The Desert Floor! 

General Moses' Misspoken Words By Anger

Asking The People If He And Aaron Were To Give Them Water 

Instead Of Glorifying The Faithful Holy God

Led To Them Being Excluded From Entering The Promised Land! 

Think Also Of Nabal 

Who Rejected David's Request For Sustenance By Asking 

Who Is David

The Very One Whose Guardianship Of His Flocks 

Guaranteed Nabal's Prosperity

Shows Us The Subsequent Deadly Cost Of 

Misplaced Aggression

Arrogance

And 

Knowing Base Ingratitude! 

Dear Ones, 

I Bid Us All To Speak Quietly 

And 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Lord! 

In Sewing, We Are Instructed To Measure Twice 

Before Cutting The Fabric Once! 

The Lord Tells Us That We Who Love The Tongue 

Shall Eat The Fruit Thereof 

So Be Very Careful What You Say 

Because 

Both Wise And Unwise Words Are A Heavy Weight! 

Judas Iscariot Asked Of The Jewish Leaders: 

"How Much Will You Give Me!?!" 

To Betray Our Lord Jesus! 

Jesus Christ Said To His Father: 

"Not My Will, But Thy Will Be Done!" 

Will Your Words To Our Blessed Jesus Be: 

"Lord, I Willingly Follow Thee No Matter The Cost!" 

Even Though You Understand That 

The World Will Savage You!?! 

Weigh What To Speak On The Way To Speak! 

Peace! 

https://youtu.be/JPz-6SfrIoU?si=FGxVuNnf6DLH5WXF

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: TRUTH Can Handle Questioning!

KJV Job 13:3

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

The Truth Has Nothing To Fear From Being Questioned! 

True Or False!?! 

Jesus Christ, Our Only King, Said: 

"I Am The Truth!" 

He Also Said: 

"Come Let Us Reason Together!" 

And He Also Said: 

"Ask!" 

Ergo Aka Therefore

The Truth Aka Jesus Christ Our Lord 

Has Nothing To Fear 

From Being Questioned By Us Creatures Of Fallible Flesh

Of "Daintified" Dust! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Jesus Is All-Knowing 

So It Is Impossible For Us To Stump Our Creator 

With One Of Our "Imponderables!" 

Think About It: 

Can You Come Up With Such An Off-The-Wall Question For Our Maker/Master

Who Is Also All-Seeing And Ever-Present

That He Will Have To Snap His Fingers And Say To You ... In Resignation: 

"Oh, My Stars! 

You Really Got Me With That Question!" 

Wouldn't That Scenario Cause You To Become God

And 

Able To Create Your Own Reality

Problems Absent

Answers Evident!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are So Full Of Stuff And Nonsense That 

We Are Behaving Like Rank Idolaters! 

We Make God 

And 

We MAKE God Go! 

I Cry: 

"Remanufactured Hay!" 

Brethren, 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Our Lord Is Real! 

His Wisdom Is Everlasting 

And 

He, His Truth, Endureth To All Generations! 

Please Dare And Try Almighty God ... By Faith! 

Remember, He Knows Your Question 

And Your Need

And Your Desire

And Your Hope

And Your Hurt

And Your Health

And Your Sorrow

And Your Joy

And Whether You Truly Believe That He Is Real 

And That He Loves You Personally And Intimately

And Intentionally

And Eternally! 

Please Get A Grip On Saving Grace

Tighten Your Heretofore Loose Lip

And 

Let Your Question ... By Unfailing Faith ... For Our Sovereign Lord, Rip! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tired ... Tried!?!

KJV Psalms 66:18

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Will You Wear On Your Head What Your Feet Will Walk Upon!?! 

I Was Tired! 

I Am Getting Tired! 

I Am Tired! 

I Tried! 

I Will Be Tried! 

I Am Being Tried! 

Each Of These Statements Mean Something Different 

And

All Of Them Are True 

For All Of Us ... Now ... Today! 

Beloved, 

Consider This: 

You Are Not Letting Go Of That Person, Place, Or Thing 

Because 

It, That, She, He Known Finite 

And

Slowly Killing You Figuratively And Literally 

"Is All That I Have!" 

But

You Have No Problem At All With Casting Into The Flames Of 

"My Foolish Heart's Damnable Desire!" 

The Infinite Being You Truly Need 

Who Moment By Moment Is And Gives You Your Life

Help, Hope, Healing 

And

The Key To His Heavenly Home! 

Lord Jesus, Make This Make Sense! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are A Stubborn And Gainsaying People 

Who Would Criticize To His Face 

The Very Jesus Who Saves Us 

If We Could See Him Face To Face Today! 

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry

Our Use Of Which Will Have Satan Counting Coup 

And 

Our Lord The Judge Subtracting Saints! 

Please Don't Do A Judas And Sell Heaven's Perfect Treasure 

To Get Earth's You'll Never Spent It Silver! 

Tired!?! 

Add Jesus The Savior! 

Tried!?! 

Add Christ The King! 

With Jesus In Your Heart

All That He Ordains For You To Have And Hold 

Will Be Added Unto You! 

We Are Dust: 

Dust Mines Gold 

And 

Gold Elevates Dust! 

Pray Without Ceasing 

And 

Mine The Scriptures! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Our Free-Will Can't Be Breached!

 

We Should Know By Now That 

We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Hear The Excuses! 

We Sin Because The Devil Made Us Do It: 

He Didn't! 

We Sin Because The Lord Didn't Stop Us: 

He Does Not Breach Our Free-Will! 

We Sin Because We Felt Like It

Or We Really, Really Wanted Our Fleshly Desire Made Whole 

Or We Couldn't Find A Good Reason Not To Sin: 

We Didn't Look In The Right Place! 

Beloved, 

Have You For One Itty-Bitty Moment Considered That 

Our God, The Eternal, Sees And Records Everything That 

We Think, Say, And Do

And That It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Recognize, Accept, And Honorably

Wisely, Righteously, Act Upon The Knowledge That 

We May Escape Detection By The Earthly Judge But That 

We Will Not Under Any Circumstance 

Escape The All-Knowing, Ever-Present, All-Seeing, Eternal God

He From Whom No One Can Hide!?! 

Dear One, 

I-Feel, I-Must, I-Can, And I-Will Are Interesting Characters 

Who Can Be Used For Good Or Ill In Our Lives! 

When We Choose To Feed Them On The Good News

I-Feel Will Be Saying 

"I Feel The Presence Of The Lord!" 

I-Must Will Be Saying 

"I Must Tell Jesus All Of My Troubles!" 

I-Can Will Not Act Like Achan 

But, Instead, Will Be Saying 

"I Can Do All Right Things 

Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!" 

And

I-Will Will Be Praying Without Ceasing 

And 

Giving Thanks To The Lord For All Things ... Even The Fiery Trials ... 

Because 

We Know That We Are Not Alone! 

Let Jesus Christ Be Praised! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Your Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned

Wants You Dead And Damned: 

Roundly, Firmly, Aggressively Reject His Overtures 

By The Word That Works 

Aka "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Our Advocate The Creator

Our Savior The Redeemer

Our Lord Blessed Forever

Wants Us To Live Forever 

So Please Dare And Choose Life In Christ 

And 

You Will Never, Ever, Have The Opportunity 

To Visit The Land Called Regret! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

 

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Trying To Help Us 

To Abundantly Live In Him Now

And 

Then Eternally With Him! 

We Must Choose To Cooperate With Him 

Through The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, 

All That He Is Asking Of Us 

Is 

That We Accept The Draught From Heaven's Bottle Of 

Easily Digestible Loving Kindness, Blessing, And Grace! 

Truth Being Always Told

We Are Choosing, Instead, To Self-Cure

Self-Comfort And Self-Control 

By Ill-Advisedly Imbibing From The Rancid Cask Of 

Do-Me Willful Human Blindness 

Which Carries No Spiritual Nourishment 

But 

Is Filled To Overflowing With The Empty Calories Of Lawlessness ... Of Sin

Which Makes Us Fat And Easy To Overcome 

By Our Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools

Aka No One Who Says That There Is No God

In The Lord's Living Kingdom Of Light! 

Since We Actively Say To All That We Believe That 

The Lord Can Do A Great Thing For Us Here And Now

Should We Not, Here And Now, Show Our Faith And Trust 

By Willingly Doing What The Lord Is Asking Us To Do 

To Truly Help Ourselves!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The One-Mile Walk To Surpassing Glory 

Starts With Our First Step Toward Jesus Christ, Our Only Savior! 

Salvation Is Free 

But

All Potential Recipients 

Must Willingly Accept The Package 

And

Eagerly Open It 

And

Wisely Use The Gift: 

This Is Self-Service Only! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Remember 

And

Never Forget That Man-Wrought Salvation 

Is 

The Devil's Only Delight 

Because 

It Leads To Man's Sure Damnation! 

Please Let Jesus Christ Aka The Great Physician

The Prince Of Peace

Fix And Heal You By His Saving Grace! 

Pray Fervently ... And Touch Your King 

Who Was Touched To Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Our Position In The Race For Life!

 

I Need To Utter A Deep, Deep, Sigh! 

Siiiighhhh ...

Brethren, Beloved, 

Listen Unto Me! 

We Have A Choice To Make: 

To Be Free To Sin 

Or To Be Free From Sin! 

We Have To Choose Between Friends, Family, Foes And The Fiend 

And 

The Father, The Maker Of Us All! 

Brethren, 

We Need To Get Back To That Time Which Was Before 

Our Inglorious Fall

Before The Silken Ties Of Affection

The Lust Of The Flesh

The Lust Of The Eye

And 

The Pride Of Life 

Dictated Our Walking

Our Speaking

And 

Our Position In The Race For Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Consider And Know This Thing: 

If You Know That Someone Is Digging A Grave For You

Don't, Don't, Do Not Give Them A Shovel Or An Excavator! 

If They Are Seeking To Bury You

Do Not Give Them The Dirt! 

Beloved, 

We Must Stand Up And Be Counted 

As Faithful To The Father 

Against Friends, Family, Foes, And 

The Damned-Forever Fiend 

And

We Should Hold To The Adage Which Says:

 

"Do Not Light Yourself On Fire

To Keep Somebody Else Warm!" 

The Way Of The Cross

The Strait And Narrow Way

The Way To Glory

Is Not 

Perfect Peaches

Perpetual Puppies And Kittens

And 

Unarmed Roses! 

Peaches Have Hidden Rot

Puppies And Kittens Become Elderly Dogs And Cats

And 

Roses Have Thorns And Attract Bees! 

The Point Is That 

Earthly, Earthy, Supposed Comfort Of Your Mind And For Your Body 

Costs You Something Now ... And Then Forever 

But

Heavenly Comfort Costs You The Earth Now 

But Gives You, Pays You, Forever Forever! 

The Choice, Our Choice, Is Clear: 

Jesus For Joy! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Is Your Life A Verifiable Lie!?!

What Is Life!?! 

Are You Living A Lie!?! 

Beloved, 

Do You Recognize, Accept

And 

Are Grateful For The Truth, The Fact, That 

We Each Have Life 

Because 

We Have The Father, Our Father, Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Do You Know, As In Understand, That 

Without Our Father, The Life-Giver, In Our Lives That 

You, Me, We Are Living A Verifiable Lie!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Are You Playing The Primary Part In Satan's Piece De Resistance 

Because 

You, Gasp, Are Denying Him Who Is The Truth 

Who, Alone, Saves You From The Accuser

The Piercing Serpent

The Raging Lion

The One Who Is Jealous Of Your Gift Of A Fruitful Life

Your Heritage As One Created In The Image Of God, After His Likeness

With The Lively Hope Of ... Going Home To Be With Our Father

In The Home Of The Forever Blessed!?! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Guard Your Heart! 

Be Sober, Be Vigilant

Be Very Careful Of Those Whom You Allow To Get Close To You! 

Be Sure To Cooperate With The Holy Spirit 

And

VESPERS: Are You An Artist Or An Artisan!?!

KJV Proverbs 10:23

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

Christianity Is Not A Blood Sport 

But 

It Rests And Rises On The Blood Of The One And Only Christ Jesus 

Who Made Man In His Image And Likeness: 

All This Was Before The Great Flood! 

People Talk About Sports Figures 

And 

Lift Up Their Favorites 

Because Of Their Power, Artistry, And Agility 

But 

I Beg You, Dear One, To Think For A Moment 

About Whether Your Christianity Is Artistry Or Artisanry! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Is 

The Artist With No Parallel 

And 

The List Of His Bona Fides Displays Creator 

And

Identifies His Creation As Heaven And Earth! 

As We Investigate Further

We Come To Understand That This Creator, The Creator

Is 

God Almighty

The One Alone Who Is Wise

And 

He Is Known For Having Gotten His Hands Dirty 

By Making Mankind From The Dust Of The Earth 

Which He Called Forth By His Word! 

Brethren, 

The Artistry And Longevity Of Renowned Sports Figures 

Is 

Of The Duration Called Short 

But 

The Artisanry Of The Creator God Is Ongoing 

Even To This Very Day Above And Below The Vault! 

Those "Christians" Who Are Artists

Who Work To Put On A Show To Entertain The Onlooking Hordes 

Add Neither Themselves Nor Another 

To The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Now, Beloved, As To Those Christians Who Are Wisely Artisans 

Going Into The Trenches For Christ's Sake

To Bless Their Fellow Man

They Will See And Apprehend 

Aka Hold On To The Glory Of 

Their Creator, Savior, Redeemer And Forever Friend

And 

Will Know That The Dirt Accumulated Under Their Nails 

Whilst Willingly Working For Their Maker-Master 

Will Be As The Gold In Their Glad-Day Crown! 

The Guaranteed Perk Of The Enduring-All

Faithful Until Death, Artisan-Christian 

Is 

Joy In Perpetuity! 

Are You Agile In The Word 

And 

Are You Using The Power Of God Mighty To Save To Perfection!?! 

Beloved, 

Don't Go About To Be An Entertaining GOAT, In Time

But 

Grow For The Goal, The Gold Of Eternity

With An Enduring All-For-Christ Spine! 

Remember, A Pretty Face Can't Make Pretty Music 

And 

A Christian Not Dirtied By Working And Praying 

Will Ever Enter Through Heaven's Pearly Gates! 

Don't Be The Fool! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Alpha-Strange Mix-And-Mashup Soup!?!

KJV Psalms 65:4

4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

The World Is Always Cooking Up A Pot Of Alphabet Soup 

Where The Meaning Of The Letters Is Ever Changing And Expanding 

No Matter Under Whose Table 

You Choose To Pull Up A Chair! 

Even The Church, The House Of God!?! 

Yes! Indeed And For Sure! 

Lord, Be Merciful! 

He Is! 

Brethren Beloved, 

I Ask You Simple And Plain

Why Would You Choose To Be A Friend To A Man-Made God 

When You Are Called To Be A Child Of Almighty God 

Who In His Image, And After His Likeness, He Made Man!?! 

Why Would You Choose To Starve On Alpha-Strange Mix-And-Mashup Soup 

When You May Survive On 

And 

Be Elevated To Jesus Christ's Glory 

By Imbibing Wittingly On The One And Only Unchangeable

Incorruptible, Lead, Guide, Bless And Teach Soup Of Salvation 

From The Lord's Storehouse Of Good For You 

And 

Plenty More To Come Of Which You Don't Know Anything!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Fast Food And Fast Fashion Have Corrupted The Taste Buds 

And 

Blinded The Eyes 

And 

Warped The Desires Of The Multitudes 

Whilst Encouginging Them To Go For The Thrill Of 

"Do What Thou Will!" 

When You've Got A Twinge Of The I-Feels! 

Christ's Followers Are Not To Live Thus 

And 

I Beg, Plead, And Beseech Us All 

To Get The Lord's Eye-Salve For Healed Eye-Sight

And 

Beseech The Lord To Permit The Angel 

To Cleanse Our Tongues With A Coal From Heaven's Altar! 

These Are Dangerous Times 

To Be Taste-Testers At Curious Restaurants 

Fronted By Gourmet Chefs Who Are Gormands 

Who Also Love To Dish Out Punishment On Plates And In Bowls 

To Abuse Other People's Brains And Bowels! 

Beloved, 

Please Stick To The Lamb Who Is The Shepherd

The Lion Who Is Your Lord And Leader

And 

The King Who Loves You ... Personally And Individually

And 

Will Feed You Himself On The Glad Day 

At The Long Table In The Family House! 

Be Enthusiastic For The Joy Of Eternity

Not The Jollies Of Unsatisfying Entertainment! 

Jesus Christ Is The Joy Of Living! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There's A Thing ...!

KJV Proverbs 14:34

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When You Were A Silly Child

Do You Remember You Or Your Mates Pelting 

Aka Throwing "Rock-Stones" On The Ground, At Walls

At Anything Convenient

And, Perhaps

Having That Rock-Stone Fly Back At You, Or One Of Your Mates Real Hard 

And 

Smack The Snot Out Of Them!?! 

It Was Shocking And It Hurt So, So, Soo, Badly! 

Sin Does That! 

Dear Ones, 

Just Like A Tongue

No One Can Control Sin To Decide What It Does Or Who It Affects

Be It A Little Or A Whole Lot! 

Consider The Sewer Line! 

Everybody Takes It For Granted

Walking Around On Top Of It Unconcernedly

Uncaring, Unaware, Unimpressed, Unbothered 

Until That Sewer Line Backs Up And Belches 

Then Everybody An' 'e Bruddah Done Know What And Where It Is 

And 

What It Does

And 

Who It Affects 

And

Demands Release And Relief 

From Its Cruel Control By Stench! 

Beloved, 

Don't, Don't, Please Do Not Fool Yourself Into Believing That 

Sin Can't Do You Anything 

Because 

You Have It On A Short Leash! 

Old Cossie Had De Mule On A Short Leash 

And

It Still Kicked The Black Off Him! 

You've Been Warned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: No Need To Fear

KJV Acts 2:28

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

I Have My New Life In The Light Of Life 

So I Have No Need To Fear The Dying Day That Comes At The End Of Life 

Nor The Thought Of Being Cast Off, Being Cast Into Outer Darkness

Since The Author Of Life Is My Lord

And

The Light Of My Life! 

What About You!?! 

Beloved, 

We Set Great Store In Our Senses 

But 

We Need To Repose Them In Him Who Is The Door 

To See And Know That They Are Oh, So Much More! 

We Have Eyes To See Where To Walk

To See The Beauty Of The Earth

To See To Avoid Evil

To See To Do Good And Right

And 

To See To Climb To Higher Heights

And 

To See To Show Others Why For Us 

Jesus Christ Is The Joy Of Living 

And 

Our Heart's Delight! 

We Have Ears To Hear The Sound Of Silence

The Still Small Voice Of The True And Living God! 

We Also Hear The Noise Of Loud And Aggressive Persons

The Sound Of Joy, Sorrow, Shame, Hope, Help

And 

The Word Of Truth 

And

The Call To Everlasting Life! 

We Have A Nose

Two Nostrils Through Which Entered 

The Breath Of Life From God! 

We Inhale The Beautiful Fragrances From Flowers And Trees

The Aroma Of Good Food

And 

We Are Repulsed By The Stench Of Fear, Waste, Decay, Death! 

We Adore The Smell Of New Life

And 

New Life In Christ! 

We Have A Tongue 

To Taste Bitter, Sweet, Sour, Bland, Savory

And 

The Ability To Taste And Tell The Truth 

And 

To Savor And Spit Lies! 

We Soothe Self 

And 

Scar Others With Our Tasting Bit! 

We Are Able Also To Taste And See That 

The Lord Is Good! 

We Have The Ability To Touch And Be Touched

To Feel And Be Felt! 

We Are Touched By The Hand Of God 

Or Terrorized By The Nails Of The Devil! 

With Love We May Lift Up The Fallen 

Or By Rage And Hate 

We May Push, Press, Or Pound Them Into The Ground! 

We May Heal Or Hurt, Help Or Hinder! 

We May Allow Our Lord's Love To Lead Us

And 

Let His Love Perfected In Us

Love Others Into The Kingdom Of Light Where Everlasting Love Lives! 

A Life Minus God's Love 

And

Lived By Our Senses 

Concludes With Eternal Separation From The Giver Of Life! 

The Life Lived For The Lord 

Sees The Senses Used For The Glory Of The Eternal God 

And 

Us Beginning Everlasting Life 

In The Great Reward With Our Blessed Lord! 

We Have No Need To Fear 

When Our Senses Point Us To The Savior 

Who Purchased And Provides Salvation 

For Us Who Are Willing To Be Saved: 

Do Not To Your Carnal Senses Be Enslaved! 

Give Your All, Your Everything, To Christ Jesus 

And 

Know That For You

Your Senses Are Tools Useful In The Salvation Trade 

Where New Life Is Given In Exchange For The Old And Cold! 

To The Savior, Go Bold! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: True Beauty!

KJV Psalms 49:20

20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Beauty ... Exposed A Beast! 

The Beauty Of That Beast Called Lucifer, Renamed Satan

Wrought Pain For Me And Thee! 

To Rid Me And My Kind Of The Pain That Is Sin 

Which Causes Death And Ultimately Damnation

The Truly Beautiful Savior ... The Eternal God

Took Our Sin, Our Pain

Our Death

Our Damnation Into Himself

And 

Gave Us His Ineffaceable, Ineffable

Fadeless, Immortal, Incorruptible Beauty 

... If ... We Would But Ask 

Because 

It Is Free! 

Our Savior's Pain Purchased For Me, For You

For Us All Willing

True Beauty

The Kind Of Beauty Which Is Righteous

Holy, Grace-Filled 

And 

Comes Of Obtained Mercy 

Which Welcomes Us To The Throne 

And 

Seats Us At The Table Of The King Of Love! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Choice To Make 

Which Has An Inherent Challenge To Overcome! 

Are You Going To Party On Easy Street 

Or Live On Hard Way!?! 

Are You Going To Go Easy And Immoral 

To "Gain" Short-term Benefit To Please Your Lusts 

And 

Impress The Wicked And The Gullible 

Or Are You Going To Make The Hard Decision 

Which Gleans For You The Eternal Weight Of Glory 

As You Bless Your Savior With Your Obedience To His Will 

... Even As You Walk In His Way 

Blessing His Called And Chosen Ones 

Who Are Diligently Seeking His Face And His Extended Hand 

Which Bring Hope, Help And Healing

... As We Head, With The Endurance Of Faith

To Our Father's House 

Which Is Our Forever Home!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Love Is Beauty ... Beautiful! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Him Envelop You 

As You Bury Yourself In Him 

To Be Like Him Now, Today ... Forever! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Honest Expectation!

KJV Psalms 62:5

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

If You Give To Me And I Give To You 

We Will Both Have What We Need! 

What Is Your Honest Expectation!?! 

What Is ... What Is In ... Your Future!?!

What Is Your Hope!?! 

Do You Truly Believe The Unfailing Word Of God 

And

Are You Using It With This Life To Cope!?! 

Let's Back It Up A Notch And Ask 

"Do You Have Great Expectations Of Those Whom You Can See 

And

Are They Permitted To Have Great  Expectations Of You 

Or

Do You From Them Flee 

Once You Have Gotten Your Own Expectations Fulfilled!?!" 

Brethren Beloved, 

Think Deeply On This Thing: 

The Cooperative Act Of Love Brings Babies! 

To Kiss, The Participants Must Come From Opposite Directions 

And

Cooperate! 

To Wash One's Face, The Backs Of One's Hands Will Not Suffice

And 

To Cradle The Book Of Wisdom

Our Palms Must Not Divide 

But 

Come Together And Look Up In Cooperation! 

Dear Ones, 

We Do Not Do A Good Thing

When We Expect And Take Much From Others 

And 

Give Nothing In Return! 

We Do An Horrible And Awful Deadly Thing 

When We Take The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 

And 

Basely Do Not With Thanksgiving Give Him Our Damnable Sin 

Because 

We Have The Great Expectation That He

- Having Paid The Price For Our Sin - 

Will Gift Us Salvation Anyhow 

Because 

We Know That That Is His Thing ... For Love! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful: The Difference Engine Works! 

One Day, On Earth As In Heaven

Our Bills Will Become Due 

And 

It Is My Prayer For Us All That Before Then

We Will Have Taken Jesus Christ's Gift Of Free 

By Giving Up Satan's Expensive 

Aka Taken Indeed-Free And Salvation 

And

Given Up Slave-To-Sin And Damnation! 

Do Not Be Presumptuous: 

Probation Runs Out For Every Single Human 

So Please Do Not Allow The You-Spend And Jesus-Pay Account 

To Zero-Out On You

And 

I Mean Me, Too! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!
